Absolutely! While some children feel the most comfortable meeting with their therapist individually, other children benefit from having their adult within the therapy session. We also welcome families to observe sessions via Zoom. Family involvement helps children use the new skills that they learn in therapy at home and in the community.

We are not affiliated with any school district, and are a separate therapy option from school-based services. Schools have their own evaluation and determination process to determine if a child meets their eligibility criteria for 504 and IEPs.

If you recently had an evaluation at your child’s school, we may be able to use it in lieu of our own evaluation to begin additional outpatient services.
